  • Russell's 'statement' + what next for ‘feisty’ Lando and Oscar now McLaren are World Champions? – 2025 Singapore GP Review

    Russell's 'statement' + what next for ‘feisty’ Lando and Oscar now McLaren are World Champions? – 2025 Singapore GP Review
    Oct 6 2025
    Tom Clarkson is joined in the Marina Bay paddock by F1 correspondent Lawrence Barretto and Australian motor racing journalist Greg Rust to reflect on the Singapore Grand Prix.

    McLaren have won the Constructors’ World Championship for the second year in a row, but the big talking point was the opening lap contact between their drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. Will that incident change how their title battle plays out in the final six races, especially now the team have wrapped up one title?

    George Russell converted a stunning pole lap into his second win of the season with a dominant performance from lights out. As the wait for a new contract with Mercedes continues, why does Lawrence think Russell is in a similar situation to Carlos Sainz at Ferrari?

    Behind George was Max Verstappen in P2. His wait for a win in Singapore goes on but he did secure a fourth podium in a row. Given Red Bull’s previous struggles at this track, has the team finally turned a corner with this year’s car? And if Max does get much closer in the title fight this year, will McLaren favour one of their drivers over the other to ensure they win a first Drivers' Championship since 2008?

    Plus, the guys discuss another frustrating weekend for Ferrari and impressive drives from Fernando Alonso, Carlos Sainz and Ollie Bearman.

  • Will Red Bull's resurgence continue? Oscar back to his best? – 2025 Singapore GP Preview with Jolyon Palmer

    Will Red Bull's resurgence continue? Oscar back to his best? – 2025 Singapore GP Preview with Jolyon Palmer
    Sep 28 2025
    Former Renault driver and F1TV commentator, Jolyon Palmer, joins Tom Clarkson to preview this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix.

    Max Verstappen has won the last two races in Baku and Monza, so will Red Bull’s resurgence continue on the streets of Marina Bay? And with his gap to championship leader Oscar Piastri down to 69 points, with seven races and three F1 Sprints to go, can Max really still win a record-equalling fifth title in a row?

    Jolyon shares his thoughts on Verstappen's chances and analyses the mistakes Oscar made in Azerbaijan that have put Max back in the conversation.

    Plus, after Carlos Sainz scored his first podium with Williams last time out, Tom and Jolyon discuss whether they can be frontrunners in 2026.

  • Max back in title fight? Sainz’s ‘best’ podium + McLaren’s Monza ‘hangover’? – 2025 Azerbaijan GP Review with James Hinchcliffe + Laura Winter

    Max back in title fight? Sainz’s ‘best’ podium + McLaren’s Monza ‘hangover’? – 2025 Azerbaijan GP Review with James Hinchcliffe + Laura Winter
    Sep 22 2025
    Six-time IndyCar race winner, James Hinchcliffe, and F1TV’s lead presenter, Laura Winter, join Tom Clarkson in the Baku paddock to dissect a chaotic Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend.

    Max Verstappen’s fourth win of the season means he’s now 69 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri. With seven races and three F1 Sprints left, is the four-time World Champion back in the title fight? Red Bull Technical Director Pierre Wache shares his thoughts and explains how the team have transformed their performance since the summer break.

    With Piastri crashing out on lap one and Lando Norris only finishing P7, how big a missed opportunity was this weekend for Lando to close the gap to his title rival? And was McLaren’s difficult weekend a ‘hangover’ from their team orders in Monza?

    You’ll hear reaction from a very happy Carlos Sainz, after he scored his first podium for Williams with a perfectly executed race to P3.

    And Tom, Laura and Hinch also discuss a much better weekend for Mercedes duo George Russell and Kimi Antonelli, a very important battle between Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda, and is Lewis Hamilton starting to 'find his groove' despite a weekend to forget for Ferrari?
